PLUS SIZE DESIGNER: I LOVE DOING INTERVIEWS
I love doing interviews. I can't get enough of it. Someone always has a story to tell. And what better story to tell than that of an Erzulliesta? Stories of empowerment, breaking stereotypes and my favorite --- how they found true love --- either through a partner or themselves.
Check out the behind the scenes photos of the upcoming interviews!

PLUS SIZE DESIGNER: THE GOOD OLD FWB - "FRIENDS WITH BUSINESS"
Many people say, "never do business with your friend, it never goes well". Yet, more than 5 years in, Berna and I are still best friends and we are happy to report that Erzullie is still going (despite the hiatus).
To be honest, we have been friends for 13 years, but we are no longer sure when we actually became bestfriends. Nevertheless we both know that it has been more than a decade now.
Wow and half of that went to creating Erzullie. So what's our secret of this FWB --- "friends with business"? Two things:
Before we started Erzullie, Berna and I always had the common understanding, "Bestfriend over Business" always --- every day/all day.Why? Because at the end of the day, you can always make a business, but never a best friend.
Do we argue? Yes. Hard? Yes. We can even do mild. But after that, we just brush it off. To us, when it's done, it's done. The important part is we get out of things TOGETHER. No one should ever be left behind.
Another thing is that we completely have trust in each other's talents and skills. As many of you may know, Berna is the Queen of production, while I am the Queen of Marketing department. We have very distinct functions and we know when to bow down to each other's expertise.
There are times that we have to decide together (designs and business direction), but with that we aim to listen and understand the other person's side. After that, we just make sure that we collaborate and mix our decisions together to come up with one solution.
So there you have it, "Bestfriends > Business" and "Complete Trust".
Cheers!

PLUS SIZE STYLE: HOW TO DRESS “TAKEN AND I KEEP IT SHAKEN’”
Dedicated for my Erzulliestas who are already in their respectful relationships. Some outfits inspirations to keep the dating life spicy.
#1 BRING OUT THE FREAK ‘EM DRESS
As Queen B said, there are times that we need to give our lovers something spicy. Make them remember why you guys got together in the first place. Bring out the freak ‘em dress.
#2 HIGHLIGHT YOUR ASSETS
May it be your butt (slight pun), boobs or brains, use your best feature to your advantage. But since we are talking about fashion, highlight your curves by print or fabric texture and work it right.
#3 SHOW AND SUBTLY TELL
If you are always in the covered streak, why not do a 180 and surprise him with some glamorous looks? In this case, how about some classy skin show? Not into skin flashes? One way to do it is with a body hugging outfit. May it be a dress or tight bottoms and tops.
Cheers!
